Poker Player Wins StakeKings Backer $156,700 With $1M Fantasy Football Win
Longtime poker player Bobby Firestone had a seven-figure score off the poker table as he took down an NFL Fantasy Football contest for over $1 million.
The event in question was last month's DraftKings Fantasy Football Millionaire. Firestone, who has $534,296 in Hendon Mob earnings, won a total of $1,002,290 by taking first in the contest, which had a $2.5 million prize pool.
Firestone had action listed on StakeKings, resulting in a nice payday for his backers with an ROI of 86,955%. One backer turned $180 into $156,700.
Latest Poker Player to Win $1M on DraftKings
Firestone is a poker veteran with his first tournament cash dating back to 2005 at Bell Gardens in Las Angeles. He finished third in a $1,500 event at the 2008 World Series of Poker (WSOP) for $277,026.
Interestingly enough, Firestone isn't the only poker player to win $1 million on DraftKings in the last few months.
Poker pro and 2023 World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship winner Daniel Sepiol won the NFL $2M MEGA Millionaire for $1 million on Thanksgiving Day, which he spoke to PokerNews about during WPT Seminole Hard Rock.
